Over the years Gloria Darling has stayed at the Hotel Cortez. During those years she didn't notice how things started to change. The people that would come to the parties would often never show up again. That's when the police men came. "What on earth is going on?!" Gloria questioned the detective as they stated walking upstairs and past her. "We've got a call saying that Mr. March is behind the missing people." I stared at him in disbelief. "That cannot be I assure you. Who called you if I may ask?" The detective looked at her suspiciously. "I'm sorry I cannot tell you that. But do tell Mrs. March that she won't be bailing her husband out of jail." Was the last thing said before they both heard gunfire? The police ran towards the upper levels. Gloria was furious as to say it in simpler terms. She walked outside to the busily streets of LA. She did however before leaving the grounds of the Hotel Cortez was look right at the window of James office. She could clearly see the blood splatter on the window. She shrugged as she was finally leaving, suitcase in hand, as she called for a taxi. Elizabeth had warned her that if the police had ever came into the hotel, that she needed to leave.
"Where to Ma'am?" "Take me to the coven, Tom." He nodded as they drove off. She looked back to see the detective running outside for her. She rolled her eyes at his futile attempt to try and arrest her. Yes she has indeed murder, in act of defense of course, but never the less murder is murder to the police. As the cab pulled up to the house, she paid him and walked up to knock on the door. What she saw had surprised her. Hellen was still here and standing beside her was Kyle. "Well now why are you still here? Shouldn't you be the next Supreme of our clan?" Gloria tilted her head slightly. "Yes but I am still needed here. What do you need cousin?" Gloria smiled brightly. "I need a place to stay and a new identity so I came here." Hellen nodded and lead me to the new supreme of the house.
100 years later
I walked back into the hotel cortez. After a hundred years I finally made it back. "Hello I'd like to rent a room." I told this elderly woman. "Room number 64 please." She looked at me like I had been burned. "Is there a problem?" I asked in a warning tone. My patience were wearing thin. She shook her head and apologized as she gave me the key. I shrugged and walked into the elevator. The walk down the hallway let's say it was just uneventful to my disappointment. I unlocked the door and entered what was once James office. "Well this is boring." I said dryly as I walked up to the liquor and poured myself a drink. I looked around the room and rested my eyes on the bed. I set the drink down and made sure the door was lock.
"Alright then. James! We need to have a talk." I smirked. I knew he was in this room, but didn't want to show himself. "I am very blood thirsty so I hope you don't mind the blood that's going to be on your sheets." I stated as went to go change in the bathroom. When I finished changing I got a phone call. "Yes?" I answered. "He's in the bar." I hung up the phone and looked back at the mirror. I was surprised to find James staring back at me. "Well hello to you too." I smirked at him as he started at me curiously. "What are you doing here?" I laughed maniacally. "Well I was visiting Elizabeth but I want to have some fun beforehand." I watched the mirror as he walked up close to me. "You've changed. Since when are you blood thirsty?" A glint flashed in my hazel eyes. "Well after that little mishap those 100 years ago. I had to go back to the damn coven meaning no murder spree." I did a dramatic sigh as I heard James chuckle.
"Yes well then best not to keep you." He whispered in my ear. "Let me escort you Ms. Darling." He said holding out his arm. As I took it I remembered what Elizabeth told me. "I have to say James, I envy Elizabeth. With her beauty and her intelligent." I peeked to the side to see the fire in his eyes. 'He does think that she called the officers, how pathetic.' I thought to myself.
I got back with the dead man of tonight. I pretended to laugh at his dry humor, pretend to be drunk. Once in the room I locked the door behind me. We had sex of course. Then as he relaxed I pulled out my blade. I laughed maniacally as I stabbed him multiple times. My smile widening as I feel his blood splattering on my face and body. I sat back looking at my handy work. "Now this won't do." I whispered into the still breathing man. I took out his eyes and listened to his pitiful screaming. "Gloria?!" I heard Elizabeth's surprised voice in the doorway. "Ah! Come join us. Have you feed yet?" Her eyes darkened at the bloodied scene. She left making me drop my smile but not my mood. I turned back to the man and finally slit his throat. I got off the bed and looked at him.
That's when I heard a nock on the door. I shrugged and walked still naked and in blood to open the door. I recognized the maid. "Need any cleaning?" I smiled and nodded my head. "Thank you very much. I'll be in the shower for a moment." She just went to work with the sheets. I stepped into the shower and started up the cold shower. I felt somebody behind me. I turned to see James watching me. "You know staring is going to get you nowhere?" I questioned as I got out of the shower. His eyes had grown darker as I stood in front of him. "I have a party with guests coming and I want you to sing. I have a gown waiting for you downstairs. I expect you to wear it. Oh yes and Ms. Darling." He said just as he was about to open the door.
I looked back at him as I titled my head. "Welcome back." Then he was gone. I laughed as I grabbed my maroon silk robe, and tied it tightly. I ignored the maid as I made my way downstairs to receive the dress.
The party was tonight and I was finally ready for it. Liz the bartender had never left and so she was the one to help me with setting up my stage, and helping with my dress. "Thank you Liz." Liz smiled at me and patted my back. I walked up to the stage to test out the mic when I caught eyes with this hot blue eyed man. He gave me a charming smile as I winked at him.
My demons are begging me to open up my mouth
I need them mechanically make the words come out
They fight me, vigorous and angry, watch them pounce
Ignite me, licking at the flames they bring about
I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
He's got me down on both knees
But it's the devil that's tryna
Hold me down, hold me down
Sneaking out the back door,
Make no sound
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
Hold me down, hold me down
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
Selfish, taking what I want and call it mine
I'm helpless, clinging to a little bit of spine
They rush me, telling me I'm running out of time
They shush me (shhh), walking me across a fragile line
I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
He's got me down on both knees
But it's the devil that's tryna
Hold me down, hold me down
Sneaking out the back door,
Make no sound
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
Hold me down, hold me down
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
Hold me down now
Hold me down now
Hold me down
I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
He's got me down on both knees
But it's the devil that's tryna
Hold me down, hold me down
Sneaking out the back door,
Make no sound
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
Hold me down, hold me down
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
Clapping arose from the party goers making me smile. I got off of the stage and made my way to the bar. "You're voice is as amazing as ever Gloria." Liz commented giving me my drink. "Thanks. So how's business been?" Liz gave her a really look making me shrug. "Your son is doing well." She perked upon hearing what I just said. "You saw him?" I nodded. "Smart kid. He has a bright future ahead of him. You should be proud." Liz was deep in thought as I turned around to look over the crowd from my seat. "Lovely voice you have miss?" I looked over to see the handsome blue eyed man. "Gloria." I told him my name as I finished my drink. "And you?" I motioned for his name. "Kyle." I nodded my head.
He sat down next to me. How impolite. I thought to myself as he ordered himself a drink. "You know the owner of this hotel?" He asked me suddenly. I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe I do, maybe I don't. I know his wife though." I smirk as I said the last part. He looked at me curiously and I signaled Liz to poison his drink. He of course didn't notice. "How about we talk about this over a couple more drinks. Liz!" She brought over some shots for us. She knew what I was up to, and even though she doesn't agree with my way of seeing things. She still helps me out. Everything that this man drank was poisoned with a muscle relaxer, making his muscles paralyzed. Once in my room he was stuck on the bed.
"Now what I am going to do to you; my good man; is disembowel you. I have a summoning I need to get done quick and as painless as possible." I explained to the unmoving man named Kyle. His eyes however spoke. They were filled with fear. I reached for my bag when I felt James presence. "Mr. March? Well now you are usually busy around this time. May I ask why you've graced me with your presence tonight?" I turned to se nothing but I can still feel him in the room. I shook my head bored by him. He's starting to be predictable. I thought as I started on Kyle. His silent screams could be heard in the dead silence.
After the bloody work was done and cleaned up. I set up a communication symbol that I learned from my clan to contact our desire demons. I put the guts into the bowel and emptied the junkie's blood into a goblet. "What are you doing?" I stopped and looked at James whose standing above me. "I have a bone to pick with a demon." I said simply and went back to the summoning. He was still there as I spoke the summoning magic. I stood up as the demon crawled out of the ground. "Garr… Gloria daughter of Alice and Jimmy Darling. How may I be of service?" I glared at the demon making him tremble with fear.
I know right?! A demon trembling…. Anyway. "You gave me a bad deal Quanta." He looked down ashamed and knew what's to come. "I desire for you to turn yourself inside out, and run out the window that's in the hall." I smiled brightly as the demon nodded. It reached down to collect it's payment. I watched as it screeched in pain and ran out of the room and out the window. "That's something I don't see every day." I nodded as I turned to see James with raised eyebrows. "Yes sadly I have no more desire demons. Oh well, I don't really care. Care for a drink Mr. March?" He nodded and sat in a chair as I made our drinks. "You're a witch?" I nodded as I handed him his drink. I sat across from him. "Wonder why I chose your room? It's cause there's enough souls in here to summon that damn idiotic demon. But I owed you two more souls so you're welcome. " I explained as I drank my drink. He smirked at me making me raise my eye brow. "See something you like?" I wiggled my brows as he chuckled deeply.
"Well my dear Gloria I was wondering if you'd sing to me personally." I got serious. "I don't think so James. I don't think you can handle my voice." His eyes lit up at the challenge. "Try me." I shrugged. I got up from my seat and readied my voice.
He says, "Oh, baby girl, you know we're gonna be legends
I'm the king and you're the queen and we will stumble through heaven
If there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
I know you wanna go to heaven but you're human tonight"
And I've been sitting at the bottom of a swimming pool
For a while now, drowning my thoughts out with sounds
But do you feel like a young God?
You know the two of us are just young gods
And we'll be flying through the streets with the people underneath
And they're running, running, running
But do you feel like a young God?
You know the two of us are just young gods
And we'll be flying through the streets with the people underneath
And they're running, running, running again
(And we'll be running, running, running again)
(And we'll be running, running, running)
He says "Oh, baby girl, don't get cut on my edges
I'm the king of everything and oh, my tongue is a weapon
There's a light in the crack that's separating your thighs
And if you wanna go to heaven you should fuck me tonight"
And I've been sitting at the bottom of a swimming pool
For a while now, drowning my thoughts out with sounds
But do you feel like a young God?
You know the two of us are just young gods
And we'll be flying through the streets with the people underneath
And they're running, running, running
But do you feel like a young God?
You know the two of us are just young gods
And we'll be flying through the streets with the people underneath
And they're running, running, running again
(And we'll be running, running, running again)
(And we'll be running, running, running)
As I finished he was mere meters from my face our noses barely touching. Tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I felt his cold hand on my right cheek. It made me feel something that I wasn't used to feeling. It made me want to laugh but the look in his eyes kept me silent. Out of nowhere his lips were on mine. We fought for dominance, tongues clashing, and clothes tearing. He gripped my hips hard as he pounded into me. I moan in pleasure saying his name. it was like this all night until I passed out on his chest.
